Has anyone ever looked into getting a Parkrun established locally? The closest ones to us seem to be Bromley or Whitstable which are both approx 30 miles from Maidstone. Any thoughts about whether the club could get involved in this (possibly with some other local clubs)? Lots of info on the Parkrun website...... parkrun.com/about/overview.aspxparkrun.com/about/startyourownevent.aspxBarrie

I'd be really keen to get one up and running - I e-mailed parkrun a while back but there wasn't much interest in the area....

I think Sweatshop might have looked into this last year sometime, but if I recall correctly it was quite expensive to set it up initially.

Hi all - Maidstone Parkrun is starting soon, the initial start up money has been raised and we have a date of April 13th and it will start at Museum of Kent Life and run along the river to Whatman Park and back again.
Parkrun are coming down next week to formally measure the route.
Anyone wishing to help with volunteering whether its pacers, marshals, photographer, timer, scanner etc please contact me on donnacarruk@gmail.com

Thanks for the information Donna - I've put this on the club Facebook page as well, as more people tend to look at that these days.
